Writer’s povAnna strongly denied telling Jacob about Bella's kids which threw Bella into an awkward spot. She was wondering how he got to know that she had kids, because he kept asking about them each time he called, which made her conclude that Anna must have spilled to him. “If she didn’t tell him then how did he find out?” Bella asked herself as she was trying to wrap the whole thing around her head, she started wondering if Jacob had been following her and she was not aware of it. “Bella!” One of the senior staff yelled her name angrily. She scoffed and turned to look at Anna. “Well, that’s a good welcome call.” Anna said to her as she was leaving. “I know that right?” Bella replied. “Why am I just getting this report!” He yelled angrily and threw the files on the table angrily. “Explain!” Bella closed her eyes because his voice was too loud for her. “Sir I was away from work for weeks, there’s no way I would have submitted when it was my day off.” Bella tried explaining to
Writer’s povJacob didn’t look shocked to hear the question that Bella asked him which made Bella sure that he knew what he was talking about. “I knew a while before Anna got to know, it was two days after you resumed here, I was taking a walk when I sighted you with the kids, I wanted to call you but then I realized you didn’t tell anyone about your kids which means you were keeping their existence a secret from us, I just played along,” Bella was shocked to hear what she said. She never knew he was such a gentle man, listening to him now made her start seeing the good side of him. He looked so manly while he was talking. “I couldn’t have guessed you were aware, you played it well.” Bella said to him and let out a soft smile. “I have liked you for a while.” Bella choked on the water she was drinking. Anna was returning to the table when she saw Bella coughing. “Oh my, I have told you several times to eat gently.” Anna said as she sat on the chair and started patting Bella’s back
Isabella pov“Did you just hear that?” His friend asked, they were already close to the place where he would drop but he was more concerned about hearing my voice from behind. He looked at the back seat and the only thing that was visible was the clothes that were used to cover me where I was. I felt like throwing up because of the rate at which he was speeding. “We’re here.” Tristan said to him and I was even more relieved to hear it. “Why don’t we go to your house together?” He requested and Tristan rejected it immediately. “Are you tired of me? Why does it seem like you are avoiding me? Have I done anything wrong? Did I do anything to make you feel this way towards me?” I just needed him out of the car so that I could come out of the mess I put myself into. “I’ll tell you the day you can visit, right now I’m barely at home.” Tristan announced to him trying to tell him to go. But he still insisted on going with him. “That reminds me, that lady you employed, are you checking
Andrew’s povI was very pissed from work because things weren’t going so well, so I thought of going to my uncle’s house just maybe I’ll feel better after having conversations with him. When I got there I realized he was not home yet, so I decided to wait for some minutes and if he doesn’t return I’ll leave. After waiting for up to an hour I thought of leaving when I heard the sound of his car driving in. I decided to wait back since he had already returned. The moment I heard the door sound I stood up to show him how I visited a second time without prior notice but I met with the biggest shock of my life. I never knew I would see her like this, but shockingly she was standing right in front of me and then Tristan showed up as well. I didn’t know how to feel when I saw her standing In front of me, the smile I had on my face faded as our eyes met. “What’s going on?” I asked myself. Then I recollected the day that I saw her coming out of the mall with a young man. It was my uncle. Loo
Isabelle povI was not expecting to see him in the house, seeing him again in the house made my heart beat faster than normal. It felt like I was about to collapse. With the way he was looking at me and the way he was talking I could tell he was finding it hard to forgive me. He was probably thinking there’s no way he would forgive me after what I did and now he’s seeing me in his uncle’s house. “I’m sorry…”“You don’t have to apologize,” I stopped him immediately because it was really not his fault that I was living such a miserable life, the only mistake he made was taking me in when I was at my lowest because now Andrew is going to be wary of him. “I really didn’t want it to get to this extent. I never knew he would be here. I would have stayed somewhere until he was gone,"I said while panicking. I have known Andrew for a long time and I know how petty he can be, he’s not going to stop here. He’s going to make my life a living hell in the company, so much that I will want to qu
Bella povAfter making up with the kids I promised them I would never lie to them again. “Pinky promise?” Patience said and brought her finger for the pinky promise, I can't believe she really wants a pinky promise with me.I had no other choice but to do it else we might be back to square one of our misunderstanding.“Have you forgiven me?” I asked them after the pinky promise. Patience turned to look at her brother and they both nodded their heads. I hugged them warmly. We all forgot Tristan was there. We were having a mother and children bond that we forgot he was standing there watching us.“Uncle Tristan, come join us.” The kids said to Tristan, I was shocked when I heard them. They were really telling him to join the hug crew without asking if I'll be fine with it, these kids really don't care about what I think.It was still a little awkward between Tristan and I after Andrew’s sudden visit, I felt embarrassed standing near him because he heard do many horrible things Andrew s
Writer's povThe next morning.The first thing Andrew woke up to was the calls that Tristan left on his phone. He was wondering why Tristan called so many times. He was too tired last night which made him fall asleep earlier than normal. He feared that Tristan might think he was avoiding his call because of the little misunderstanding they had earlier. He picked up his phone and tried calling back but this time Tristan was not picking the call.After several phone calls Tristan was not picking so he didn't bother trying anymore, he just thought when he gets to work he will meet with Tristan and that way they will be able to talk well and have a conclusion.“Good morning.” Victoria greeted with a smile on her face, Andrew smiled back at her as he got up from the bed. They had started living like true couples, they don’t have disagreements anymore like they used to, they were suddenly peaceful but it was too late because Victoria and her mom already had everything planned out and this
Isabella povWhen I got to work I noticed that I was quite earlier than usual and there was no one on our floor yet. The thing that troubled me the most was that Andrew starting work today will be on the same floor with us.I can't imagine the torture he's going to put me through in this place. I heaved a sigh as I thought about the things he's capable of doing.After a while most of the staff started arriving and I was relieved to see them. Andrew walked in and everyone comported themselves, it was still bothersome to me as to why he chose to be on the floor with my team, he's supposed to have a different floor, that would save him the stress of seeing my ugly face everyday. But he chose to be petty and decided to choose my floor.I heaved a sigh when he walked past my desk. I know he's not going to be easy on me, he's here to frustrate me.Just as I was thinking my land phone rang and I picked it immediately. He didn't even settle well before deciding to call me. “Bella report to
Isabella's povEverything seemed to be going well in my life all of a sudden, it felt like my life has started from the scratch and there's nothing like a horrible past. I have my dad, my kids and then there is Tristan also. It felt like my life had suddenly become good and things were moving smoothly for me.I followed Tristan because he was really upset with me for keeping such important information away from him because if my dad wasn't found and he wasn't on the dining he wouldn't have known that the reason why our relationship was kept the secrets is because of my dad. “I'm sorry Tristan, I didn't know how to tell you because at that time Dad was nowhere to be found.” “That's my issue, so if your Dad wasn't found there is no possibility that we will be together in the end. It was always going to be a secret relationship till the very end.”“No, the truth was meant to come out eventually and you’ll get to know the reason why I was actually keeping it a secret.” Tristan looked
Writer's povAfter a few days, James was fully recovered and even though he had a few months to live he was ready to live the months to the fullest with his daughter and try not to let anything come between them.“Good morning dad.” Bella greeted him with a smile on her face. James wasn't feeling too good but he had to act like he's fine because he didn't want them to worry too much about him.“Good morning Bella, you look really good.” He tried complementing his daughter. James was trying to do things that he hasn't done in a while for his daughter. He knew that most of the things he tried to do now would not be able to cover up for the Lost times but he was trying his best to make sure that he is able to do things for her before his time is up. “Dad, that's unlike you.” Bella said while blushing because it's been a while since her father complemented her like that. “Well it was like me before I thought of remarrying.” Bella knew very well that her daddy was trying his best to make
Writer's povVictoria and Anita were still searching for James, they checked everywhere possible but they were still unable to find him. Victoria was getting more scared and she was looking for means to get herself out of the situation and maybe try to put everything on her mom. “I'm never going down with her.” Victoria muttered to herself while biting her finger. Victoria was already aware of Andrew’s recent plan of trying to find them through the media, their pictures were everywhere on the internet and also on television so it won't take time before they are found and James disappearance would only make it easier for them to be found because he definitely would not keep his mouth shut about being locked up for a very long time. Anita was out of the house because she still had the opportunity to step out as her face was not all over the internet like Victoria's. She was trying her best to find James because she knew for a fact that she is the cause of everything that is going on.
Isabella povFor a moment I felt like I didn't deserve to cry because if I had behaved like a good child to him this wouldn't be happening, if only I had given him good listening ears maybe he wouldn't be in this condition. Judging from the way he was laying on the bed I could tell he was in a critical state. I couldn't go closer to him because I felt guilty. “What happened? Why was he found by the roadside? Was he robbed? Did they harm him? Please can you tell me exactly what happened and why he is lying here?” I asked Kendrick.Kendrick placed his hand on my shoulder trying to calm me down because I was asking too many questions at the same time and he didn't know the one to answer first.“Bel, hey look at me nothing is going to happen to your dad trust me.” Kendrick said to me even though I know he was trying to make me feel better I still did not appreciate the fact that he was saying such a thing when obviously my dad is in a critical state.“Kendrick I appreciate that you are
Isabella's PovAfter several weeks of trying to find Victoria but to no avail, I was shocked to see her news all over the internet. I couldn't believe that he would go to such an extent just to make sure he finds Victoria and punishes her for what she did.What bothered me the most was my dad. I hoped everyday that he wasn't in with them on this horrible plan of destroying Andrew's life because if he is a part I would also make sure that he pays.My phone hasn't been with me for some hours now and the kids aren't back from school. I decided to go upstairs to the room and pick up my phone. On heading upstairs my head kept hurting after taking medication but it still wouldn't stop. I wonder why.When I got upstairs I saw my phone on the bed. I immediately picked it up and shockingly I missed a lot of calls. The call was from a strange number which made me wonder who would call several times with a strange number, definitely it has to be someone I know because he/she has my number.Just
Writer's pov“You care?” Victoria asked again and started laughing just like she did earlier.“Vict….”“Don't you dare try to be a mother now, because when I needed that love the most you never showed it, you told me to grow up and never act like a child because you would never treat me like a mother will treat her child so what changed? Why are you trying to act like you really do care about me?”Anita was quiet when she heard what Victoria said, she knew for a fact that she was guilty of everything that Victoria mentioned but she did all those things out of ignorance without realizing how much it will hurt her daughter. “I really…” Victoria raised her hand once again to stop her mom from talking. She has been cutting Anita short each time Anita tries to say anything.“Now is not the time to act like a mother. What is more important right now is to find out where James is and stop him from doing anything stupid right now.” Victoria said to Anita and they both started thinking of way
Writer's povAndrew came back to his senses the moment he realized he is beginning to have a soft spot for her again, remembering that she is the one that ruined his life.“Victoria, I don't care about what's going on in your life right now. What matters the most to me is that you return here and explain to the authorities that I have no hand in the current bad dealings the construction company is going through.”Victoria was suddenly quiet when she heard what Andrew said. She couldn't reply to him because he was talking about her biggest problem here right now. If she is found she will be the one to take responsibility for what's going on in the company right now. “I don't know what you're talking about. I will be coming soon so we can finalize our divorce that's the only thing that I care about right now.” Victoria concluded and ended the call immediately she picked up her cigarettes and started smoking. Even though Victoria acted tough she still wasn't very confident, but what she
Writer's pov Tristan and Bella were shocked to hear the conclusion that Andrew came up with. Bella has known Andrew for years and how immature he could be most times especially in situations like this so she knew very well that he was going to request for something as stupid as what he just requested for. In as much as it sounded stupid it was actually the best idea so save the kids the stress of choosing between both parents who they want to be with if the case gets to court. “Don't push me Andrew. You fucking kicked me out of your house! You told me that you don't want me anymore. You said a lot of hurtful things to me, so what is going on now? Why are you going back to your words? I am still following what you said with that mouth of yours so what changed?” Bella asked curiously. She was panting really fast, there was so much left that she wanted to say to him but she stopped herself from saying too much because right now they are in a critical state of either of them losing custo
Isabella’s pov Seeing Andrew in my house was a big shock to me that I didn't know when I screamed at my kids, I'm very sure they were upset with me but I didn't want them anywhere close to Andrew because I had a feeling that he might have already found out that they are his children and he kept it a secret because him coming here unannounced was kind of suspicious. He and Tristan barely talk at the moment so he clearly wasn't here to speak to Tristan. He is definitely here to say something about the kids or about the both of us even though I have told him several times that it's never going to happen again. “Visiting this house is not your specialty so what exactly are you here for? I know very well that there are no present contracts to be signed so why did you come all the way to my house?” Tristan said to him when he was taking time to reply to the question that I asked, I can already tell the reason why he was here but what I don't understand is why he isn't saying anything. He
